Letter: Group gives thanks for field

Community Youth Activity Sports Inc. is a 501(C) tax-exempt non-profit organization incorporated through the state of Louisiana and is in the process of planning its after school program and summer activities for boys and girls in 2014.

CYAS was formerly located at Powell Street Neighborhood Center and some volunteers were employed by the Monroe Parks and Recreation Division. After some board members retired, CYAS was unable to secure a stable location. However, with prayer and vision all things are possible.

CYAS will soon announce its new location as soon as all details are finalized. With the help of Monroe School Superintendent Brent Vidrine and school system grounds crew, CYAS has received some needed assistance with attempting to revive an old historic baseball field for youth located behind Lincoln Elementary School in the Booker T. Washington neighborhood.

CYAS will soon announce its plans for starting The James "Coach" Hughey Youth Baseball Program along with other after-school and summer activities to help keep boys and girls busy and off the streets while providing a sense of pride, direction and sportsmanship-like conduct.

Our goal is to provide a safe, fun, constructive, social and recreational activity at no cost to our youth. On behalf of CYAS and volunteers, we would like to say thank you Superintendent Vidrine and to the grounds crew for your assistance. It was very much needed and appreciated.

Finley Jefferson

CYAS Vice President
